//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Equestria Girls: The Spectrum War // by Time Agent pony //------------------------------// Back with the girls "How are we supposed to find the other lanterns?" Sunset asked. "Green lantern!" called a voice. Everyone looked up to see a strange looking figure flying towards them. He was carrying an unconscious humanoid woman with him and a blue coloured lantern slung over his wrist and a staff floating along with him. "Saint Walker" Hal greeted, as the stranger landed. "It is good to see you, lantern," Saint Walker replied. Hal then noticed the unconscious humanoid, "Indigo-1! Is she OK?". "She is out cold" Saint Walker answered, "the strain of the Last Light was more than she could bear, but she is recovering." Then he noticed the girls staring at him, "no doubt my appearance surprises you" he said, calmly, "but have hope we'll became friends." "Let me help you" Rainbow Dash smiled, she helped Saint Walker prop Indigo-1 in a comfortable position. While she was doing this he noted the blue ring on her finger, "I see the blue ring chose you" he remarked. "Yeah, it was awesome until it ran out" Rainbow Dash replied. "I can fix that" Saint Walker smiled, he handed her his lantern. Rainbow Dash took it, pressed her ring to it and spoke. In fearful day, in raging night, With strong hearts full, our souls ignite, When all seems lost in the War of Light, Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright! Like Applejack, Rainbow Dash and her ring glowed brighter. The sound of coughing was heard and everyone turned to see Indigo-1, who was waking up and getting to her feet, picking up her staff. "Are you ok?" Rarity asked, helping Indigo-1 up. Indigo-1 replied in a language neither Rarity nor anyone could understand. "I'm sorry, I don't know what your saying," Rarity said, slowly. "I see that your ring is out of power," Indigo-1 replied, now speaking english. She handed her staff to Rarity, she took it and spoke. In sorrowful day, in misfortunate night, We help those, who need our might, With the lantern power of Abin Sur, We rid your misery..., With compassionate might! Like the others, her ring glowed brightly. "Right, we've only got Carol Ferris to find and we'll be ready to face the other lantern corps," Hal said, once three of the ring had been charged. "Carol isn't the only lantern to get dragged here," added Saint Walker. "I know, Sinestro, Atrocitus and Larfleeze made it here too," replied Hal. "Saint Walker didn't mean them," Indigo-1 continued. "Well who then?" Hal asked. But before Indigo-1 could answer, a pink light streaked across the sky above them. "We can worry about the others later" Hal said, he ponited up as a pink light streaked across the sky, "right now, we've got to catch Carol." He, the other lanterns and most of the girls flew after the pink light, Applejack carrying Pinkie, Twilight, Sunset and Fluttershy in bubble. The pink light had landed at an abandoned construction site, by the time the others arrived. The light had created a sizeable crater in the centre of the site. "Carol are you alright?" Hal asked, as he approached, the pink light turned out to be a young woman wearing a pink outfit, a ring and carrying a pink coloured lantern. "I'm fine, Hal" Carol replied, as Hal helped her to her feet. She noticed the ring on Fluttershy's figure, "Looks like you ring needs charging" she said, she handed her lantern to Fluttershy. Fluttershy took the lantern and spoke the words For hearts long lost and full of fright, For those alone in blackest night, Accept our ring and join our fight, Love conquers all-- with violet light! "Aw, yeah," Rainbow Dash said, "We're all charged up." Carol still looked worried and scared, "Carol what's wrong?" Hal asked. "Hal, the Last Light...." Carol said, shakily "we made it through...." she struggled to complete the sentence, "But so did Nekron!" Hal, Saint Walker and Indigo-1all gasped. "Not Nekron!" cried Pinkie, "I don't actually know what that is" she whispered to Applejack. "Hal, who or what is Nekron?!" Sunset asked. "We're doomed" Hal shivered, almost as if he hadn't heard anyone, "death, death is coming."
